After receiving a scholarship from a prestigious university, a Chinese girl named Wei moves to New Zealand and stays with her aunt, whose daughter studies in the same faculty. Insecure about the birthmark on her face, she dreams of continuing the work of her late father, who tried to create a revolutionary remedy for skin imperfections. This catches the interest of a university professor who urgently needs a project to extend his funding—thus, Wei gains access to the laboratory. Meanwhile, her relationship with her cousin and new classmates deteriorates.
